Process
First, I received an online assessment. They presented two LeetCode mediums that covered dynamic programming concepts.
Next were a coding round (Data Structures and Algorithms) followed by a system design round.
There was a huge delay from when I passed the online assessment and had my DSA round scheduled, for some reason. The system design round was scheduled for one hour, but the interviewer took two, for some reason. They seemed all over the place.
Questions
Coding round: Graph problem that required BFS
System Design: Design Pastebin
